Thats a very interesting piece.
Whats caliber/gauge is it?
I don't recognize the name but it looks English. Probably made in the 1850's.
Has a rifled bore and checkering, also a safety. My guess is that it's a mid-1800's dueler...as in used to be part of a cased two gun set.
Probably a high quality piece.
Yep...it's a dueler. I just did a google on 'John Lord Dueling pistols'
There's pics of very similiar pistols and some info to be gained. Do a google
